, acceptance speech, where he used some of thiz toughest criticism against romney and ryan saying they would lead to a blundering and blustering foreign policy? some thought that was a little bit too tough or perhaps small for the president in a convention speech. >> well, i think it was a very small part of his convention acceptance speech. but i do think he wanted to make the point that these guys are amateurs. and he did harken back to the one time we have seen mitt romney on global stage, he made a rather hash of it. criticizing our strongest ally in a way that he didn't have to. it was like going over to somebody's house and saying, "you really need to change the carpet." that may be true but you don't have to say it out loud. romney has defended that trip and so i think it's just an opportunity for the president to draw a stark contrast. i think it was very effective. >> david, we just spoke, of course, with congressman ryan, and i asked him what he thought was our biggest national security threat. he said iran, a nuclear iran. that's different than what mitt romney had said, rig

and paul ryan want to do about it. >> well, the first-- the first bit of good news is that mitt romney and paul ryan are not going to change medicare for those seniors. they're going to change medicare for folks like me, who just turned 50, and younger, who are going to need to know that if you want to have any semblance of medicare, you're going to have to make some changes to it. here's the dirty little secret, bob-- the president of the united states knows that, too, but he's not talkin talking abo. he's not being honest with the american people about it. in the end, i think the american people, if we lay out our vision well, will reward us for tell truth. and the president right now is avoiding the truth the way he's avoided so many hard truths over the last four years. >> schieffer: governor, if mitt romney does not win, are you going to run for president in 2016? >> mitt romney's gonna win, so it's a question that-- know, i don't need to address. i hope in 2016 to be work hard for mitt romney's reelection as president of the united states. and any conversation about anything else

so the barrier to solving our fiscal challenges, the barrier to the sequester, is mitt romney, paul ryan, and too many republicans in congress, not all, but too many refuse to ask anything of the very wealthy. they want to put all the burden on the middle class, all the burden on seniors, and that's not the right way forward for our country. >> david, i'm sure a lot of americans are sitting at home scratching their heads and saying, "boy, this is deja vu all over again. didn't we just have this discussion about the debt ceiling, and the secret republicans decided to hold hands and jump off this cliff together. everybody agreed on these defense cuts, the sequestration, in order to, as an enforcement mechanism. so both sides, the president and the republicans in concerning would come back to the table and, yet, neither side has done that. where is the president's leadership on this so that this country does not get stuck with another downgrade or something like that that could lead to another recession? >> well, you know, you have to step back. obviously the the debt ceiling was not a plea

and ryan, you know, cutting all of these jobs, women's job. it looked like it was a lovefest for women last week, except where it count, in the pocketbook, in the home. women still make 77 cents on the dollar as what a man makes. as a result of cutting nutrition programs that stand between many poor women and being able to survive, i think the obama campaign is reaching out to those minorityes, women including to suggest, yeah, it's been tough. we had a horrible condition we inherit. give us a little bit more time to fix this because it doesn't take just three or four years. but at the same time, they were selling a vision and a value that i think appeals to those people. we'll see how successful that is. >> schieffer: dan, you had a big, long piece in the "washington post" today. what do you think that president obama has to do here? >> well, i mean, one of the-- one of the issues is -- and it was-- it was set up at the tampa convention with the notion that people are disappointed with the president. they went hard on the idea he's not a bad

. >> schieffer: the romney campaign continues to criticize the administration. paul ryan was on the campaign trail yesterday saying that the obama administration has diminished america's presence overseas and our image, a direct quote, "if we project weakness, they come. if we are strong, our adversaries will not test us and our allies will respond to us." what's your response to that. >> it's two-fold. first of all, bob, i think american people expect in times of challenge overseas for our leaders to be unified. and to come together. and to be steadfast and steady and calm and responsible. and that certainly is what president obama has been. with respect to what i think is a very empty and baseless charge of weakness, let's be plain-- the american people know the record very well. president obama said when he was running for president that he would refocus our efforts and attentions on al qaeda. we've decimated al qaeda. assume iosamabin laden is gone. he also said we'd end the war in iraq responsibly. we've done that. he has protected civilians in libya, and q
